But when it comes to filming his Associated Bank commercials, he’s still got a lot of room for improvement.

Although Rodgers is known for keeping his cool on the field while defensive lineman are running him down, he has some trouble maintaining that composure around his elderly costar Edith. The pair can hardly make it through a single take without laughing.

Aaron and Edith do have great chemistry though, and seem to have a great time shooting these ads. Watch the outtakes here:

With Peyton Manning out for the season, the “Best Commercial by an NFL Player” award is up for grabs. If Rodgers wants to take the title, he’s going to need to step up his game a little bit. Maybe this is another one of those cases where a player’s performance was hurt by the short offseason. I blame the lockout.
